The Birth of RESERVAE
Marica Lehmann, a 38-year-old German project manager, fell in love with Ericeira’s charm after relocating there in 2021. However, she noticed a divide between the burgeoning international community and the established local population. Inspired by this observation, Marica embarked on a mission to bridge the gap.
In October 2022, during a lively “Paella Party” in Ribamar, she met Miguel, and their conversation sparked the idea for RESERVAE. Unable to contain her excitement, Marica began weaving her vision for a magazine to unite both communities.
The Team Behind RESERVAE
RESERVAE is the brainchild of a diverse team. Marica enlisted Sara Afonso and Miguel Pedreira, two Portuguese journalists, and Laura Putter, a talented Dutch designer. Together, they crafted a magazine that transcends language barriers.
Written in Portuguese and English, this 100-page printed magazine invites readers to explore Ericeira’s surf spots, meet local personalities, uncover hidden gems, and delve into both traditional and international projects. The team’s collaborative spirit ensures that RESERVAE captures the essence of this coastal gem.
